JohnL455 wrote on Tue, 21 January 2020 08:32 I simply use coolant temp as a guide to trans temp.
I'm thinking if the coolant is entering the radiator at, say, 210F, and it's returning to the engine at 190F then you might not know if the trans temp is climbing. Or, you won't know it until it goes past the point where the radiator can remove the heat.
For the price of another gauge, maybe i'd want to see the temp going in and going out? Probably overkill but i see transmission failure as the most disruptive thing that can happen.
- can't see it coming
- can't get parts quickly
- can't work on it myself
